Casper Marina Swansboro, NC May 25 - 26, 2016
M & D got us off before 8 AM, so we could make the first bridge opening on the hour. There’s a series of bridge openings that we are trying to time today. We are saving fuel since there is no point in going fast due to these openings. Came through a heavily smoky area, but have no idea where the fire was…Not good!!!
Again, lots of shallows, as we cross inlets and shoals with civilization coming and going…we see lots of beach cottages along the ocean.
Came by Camp LaJeune complete with scary Channel 16 announcements, a helicopter flying around and many posted
KEEP OUT signs…It’s mostly a gorgeous wildness !
Weirdness is happening on Moondance…first mom couldn’t find her good cooking tongs that she had brought from home, so she bought a new one…They have now disappeared along with her small electric fry pan extension cord…She and dad have been through everything…even pulled out drawers. Dad found the original good tongs, but the other 2 objects have not been found??? It’s a puzzle!
They are getting cleaned up to go check out Swansboro, NC…it looks pretty cute from the marina!!! At least they fed me before leaving…I was mad at them, so I destroyed the waste in aft head trash can…that will teach them to leave me!!!
They said that what they could see from the waterfront looked cute. Mom brought me grouper, rice and veggies from her Icehouse Restaurant meal, so I will be eating well for the next couple of meals!
They stopped at the Church St. Irish Pub & Deli for a nightcap…so another bartender photo taken. Talked to the young bartenders there who like our waitress is married to a serviceman…Go USA Military!…the Navy and Marines are well represented down here!!!
It’s funny M & D noticed as we are getting more north, we are starting to see normal grass, clover and such…along with some interestingly marked ducks? We are definitely going to be rocked to sleep here...Wow! Nelly!!!
Off tomorrow for Oriental, NC and Whitaker Marina.
As we were leaving this AM |
| Loved the frog with the surf board in front of this Wrightsville Beach house |
 |
| One of the first official exercise equipment, the joggling board or it's called a courting board depending??? |
The Causeway Cafe is definitely a hit in our minds and stomachs!!!
Some of the sites along our travels yesterday in Wrightsville Beach & today...
 |
| Love how the sunset lit up this part of Wrightsville Beach |
Wrightsville Beach sunset from Moondance's Flybridge
More gorgeous homes along the ICW
Couldn't believe Lily, she put her head up on the seat while she parked herself in front of the fan.
Not sure if I really would love to meet these people or I wouldn't like them??? They certainly put it out there!!! Look closely because they have a grotto as part of their pool with a slide...WOW!
Lily decided she needed a tan???
The Onslow Swing Bridge by Camp LaJuene let us all through early...YEAH!!!
 |
| Just some of the gorgeous wilderness in Camp LeJuene |
Loved this Church St. Inn mermaid weather van!!!
Sorry this store was closed...very funky stuff...I've never seen a male mermaid before...look starboard!!!
If we saw one of these, we saw 10 swan planters...cute Swansboro, you'll...
One section of Swansboro's Waterfront
The Icehouse Restaurant reminded us of another very old CT one that we can't remember it's name?
 |
| The Church St Irish Pub & Deli Bartenders...aren't they cute? |
They had really wonderful murals all over the pub
We are pretty much by our lonesome tonight...quite a change from other marinas!
Walking back we got sight of these ducks hanging out
Anyone have any idea what kind of ducks these are???
